What are you using Haiku for?

Not the same person but... nothing. Haiku just hasn't been an interesting model for a long time. If you want cheap and fast, there are lots of options that are simultaneously cheaper, faster, and capable than Haiku.

Things that Jev is probably a better tool for.

I use it for executing well-prepared plans sometimes. And for exploring larger codebases.

Nothing, because current Haiku is useless. But I use Qwen3.6 35B-A3B and it's both much faster and much more capable than Haiku. And Qwen3.8 27B can do so much more, decently replaces Sonnet, albeit not as fast. Luna doesn't feel more capable nor faster than Qwen3.8. I think Anthropic could surprise us with some more innovation in this niche.
